Welcome

Michaelstow (Cornish: Lannvighal) is a civil parish and village in north Cornwall, United Kingdom. The village is situated approximately three miles (5 km) south of Camelford.

The civil parish of Michaelstow is in the deanery of Trigg Minor and Hundred of Lesnewth. It is named after ‘St Michael’s holy place’ and the parish church is dedicated to St Michael and All Angels. The River Camel runs along its eastern edge and the surrounding parishes are Lanteglos-by-Camelford to the north, St Breward to the east, St Tudy to the south and St Teath to the west. Helsbury Castle, an iron age hill fort, stands on Michaelstow Beacon half-a-mile north of the village.

This website is set up primarily to serve the interests of the Michaelstow Parish Council in the dissemination of information to and from people in the Parish, the Parish Council and Cornwall County Council.
